North's Wade Thompson racially vilified by a Sturt player

[The Big Shrek]

I think their name should made public, so that they can feel some form of humiliation, like they have put Wade through

Can anyone else understand the staggering difference in BP's attitude to the same offence?

Yes

I think I know the incident you're talking about. The North player had just dumped the Sturt player after he was already over the boundary line. Another Sturt player came in to remonstrate. There didn't seem to be anything nasty/racial in it. The Sturt player is not the type that would ever stoop to that level. The North player certainly did not look as though anything offensive was said to him.

what a paragraph of contradictions....

I'm confused, can you point out the contradictions punky, serious question.

I can't find 'em either.

Although I agree that intentionally inciting racial prejudice and hatred, and potentially inter-racial violence, is totally unacceptable and should be illegal and banned, I sometimes wonder whether we are being a bit precious over minor issues around the edges. I have never been upset when I have been called a "white bastard", or a "rich bastard", and I don't think there is a lot of difference between the two when said in the heat of the moment.

Not everyone from a racial minority has a chip on their shoulder about it. Jewish friends have told me good Jewish jokes, and I knew a couple once where the wife had come from and English middle class Anglican family and her husband was a Pakistani Catholic. He said, grinning, "I have sympathy for her parents. Not only did their daughter marry a boong, she married a Mick boong!"

I think their name should made pubic,

In other words, we should make 'em look like complete dicks?
